To calculate: The distance travelled in 10 rotations by tire of 10-speed bicycle with diameter
Answer to Problem 15E
The distance covered in 10 rotations by the tire of 10-speed bicycle is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The tire for a 10-speed bicycle has a diameter of
Formula used:
Circumference
For each rotation of the tire, distance covered by wheel is equal to the circumference of the tire.
Calculation:
Consider the given statement that the tire for a 10-speed bicycle has a diameter of
Recall that the circumference
Apply it,
Now, recall that for each rotation of the tire, distance covered by wheel is equal to the circumference of the tire.
So, the distance covered in 10 rotations will be evaluated when
So, the distance(d) covered in 10 rotations is calculated as,
Rounding off to the nearest tenth, we get,
Thus, the distance covered in 10 rotations by the tire of 10-speed bicycle is
